[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family started there with the old Head of School and after the new head.  We didnt necessarily  like either head of school, but we preferred the community feel of the school with the old.  It actually felt like a community back then and now it feels like it has no identity.

The senior class this year has 160 students!  When we started we were told there would not be more than 120 per class in the upper grades.  I used to tell people that Bullis is not the "public school you pay for", but I will say that it's starting to feel like it.  Our tuition keeps going up and I am not at all feeling where that is being invested in other than a new building which is of no use to us.  The teachers that we loved, and who are the reason we went with Bullis, have all left.  They were excellent, engaging teachers, who our kids still speak about to this day, and they tell me often that they wish they were still there so they could go say hello.  I cannot speak to all the new teachers as we do not know them, but the ones who left were incredible. Personally, I am always wary of a school that has a lot of teacher turn over and I hope that Bullis can see how that does not look good for them.

There are pros and cons to all schools, but the amount of money we are now spending in tuition, in my opinion, is beginning to not feel worth it.  I'm sure there will be another increase this year as well.

Funny you see it that way. Our DC will graduate next year and has been at Bullis since 2nd grade, so we also had both head of schools, and our experience is completely reversed. The school is night and day better than it was under the old head. Our DC loves going to school every day, even in their Junior year! The faculty changes have only been for the better because of the extremely high standards set by the current head of school. Frankly, most of the faculty who have left had been major underperformers. Maybe you are one of them?[/quote]

Same exact experience here but one grade above. 👋![/quote]
